Al:
But how do you make sure that he'll fall in love with you? Paula:
You look nice, you find out what they like, and then you pretend to like it, too. Sue:

Is there anything that we need to do? Paula:
Well, for starters, you could make life a little more difficult for him. You know, uh, more chores, more responsibilities, that kind of thing. Sue:
I just think you should know that Tripp has had some rough breaks. Paula:
I promise you, when this is over, Tripp is going to be an independant, self-sufficient adult
